Superior seeking unpaid home rental sales taxes; but one citizen calls the levy ‘unfair’
By James Hodl | Copper Area
Scofflaws beware! If you haven’t been paying the 2 percent transaction privilege tax on your income from residential rental property you could soon hear from the Town of Superior asking for back payments.
Few who have been contacted so far are happy to discover that they owe back taxes to Superior. At least one said he is considering his legal options in opposing the tax.
“Not everyone may realize that in Arizona a town can assess a 2 percent tax on rental income from residential property including both homes and apartments. But the law has been on the books for more than a quarter century,” said Superior Auditor Albert Holler.
